Sending kids off to college is hard, especially if you’re worried about how they will eat. No doubt, kids will grab the food that is easiest to grab, regardless of whether or not it is healthy.
But this collection of easy microwave dorm room meals and treats will help your kids make better choices. If they can actually make something healthy and delicious with just their dorm room microwave, they might be slightly less tempted to stuff their face with potato chips and candy bars.
Of course, you may still have to worry about their soda habit!
